And, if I'm not mistaken there's one Selmer from transitional period number 489 oval hole. I'm not sure, but I think it has slightly more, than 12 frets to the body... anyway it sounds fantastic!
With no close up of the top back and sides, the seller is leaving some mystery as to its actual condition.
The "Selmer" on the headstock looks like it was revealed by just rubbing some dust away with ones thumb but only over the logo leaving the rest of the head pretty dirty. Like it came straight out of the attic to Ebay.
Can't imagine paying that price without solving the easier mysteries first.
The head stock has the usual Selmer graft, plus a angled graft as if the headstock had been sawn off a differently designed neck and grafted Selmer style on to this guitar. But the grain and the double graft in the same spot on the back of the neck can't be original can it?
Looks pretty good though, even the brass is shiny.
Wish I read german.
